Republicans Never Forget Talking Points In Face Of Truth

Some Republicans can never stray from their talking points. Certified cracker Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby on Fox this morning answering the slanted, leading softball questions.
WALLACE: Sen. Shelby, you say that the Obama administration is taking us down the road to socialism. Explain.

SHELBY: Well, obviously. So, they intervene last fall in the bank crisis. No one has ever done it on that scale before. Now the automobile crisis.
"Well, obviously"? When did Obama take office?

Shelby seemed to catch himself moments later, saying, “you have to go back to the Bush administration. They started it.” You know the Fox host would never call him out on the inaccuracies.

Say it with me: Bush is the "socialist" who federalized Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, bailed out the banking industry and bought AIG. It was his $700 billion stimulus Congress approved last fall.
